Oh well. Richard Sherman’s play in the end zone was spectacular, and so was that sideline interview immediately thereafter with Erin Andrews. Poor Sherman has been vilified up one side and down the other, probably because he’s black and has dreadlocks. Okay, the choke gesture was wrong, but if he and Michael Crabtree had issues during the off-season last year and if he and Crabtree had been jawing at each other all game, then I can forgive him for calling the guy out just after Sherman beat him to the ball.

Besides, America, we’ve had other mouthy sports figures, remember?
